Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some frequently asked questions about SkinSure, together with the answers. If you have a question that is not dealt with here, please do not hesitate to contact us.What skin conditions can I use your products with?
SkinSure is a very effective and gentle moisturiser and is suitable and safe for people who may be prone to chronic dry skin conditions.
Does the product contain steroids, lanolin, alcohol, colours or fragrances?
No. The only colours and fragrances present are those found naturally in the constituent ingredients. The product contains a moisturiser as well as Aloe Vera and Jojoba Oil which have all been reported as being kind to skin.
How often should I apply SkinSure?
We suggest applying SkinSure once every three to four hours.
Do I need to re-apply SkinSure after washing my hands?
No. Providing it has been 3 to 4 minutes since you applied SkinSure, it cannot be washed off with water.
How much should I apply at one time?
You should use about 1ml to cover your hands. Once the hands have been covered, we suggest applying an amount that thinly covers the surface of the area you wish to attend to.
On what parts of the body can I use the cream?
The products can be used on any external part of the body. It must be kept away from the eyes.
Will SkinSure protect me from harsh liquids, granular substances and powders?
SkinSure contains a barrier property which protects the skin from most harsh liquids, such as water, soap, shampoo, inks, paints, tar, adhesives, oils and greases and granular substances such as sugars, spices and flours. SkinSure should be used in addition to existing precautions and should not be solely relied upon to protect the skin from very harsh liquids, such as industrial acids and oven cleaners, or any product where the manufacturer advises the use of protective clothing.
Does it kill germs or bacteria?
One of the main active ingredients of SkinSure is triclosan which has been proven over the last 30 years to effectively kill a broad spectrum of germs and bacteria. Triclosan acts to inhibit the growth of bacteria targeting proteins unique to all bacteria.
Can I use the products on my baby or children?
SkinSure Daily is suitable for use on children above 3 years of age, we are currently investigating the safety of this and our other products for use by infants over the age of 6 months.
Are there any dangers?
The SkinSure products must always be used as per the safety precautions. The components of the products have been in wide use for many years and have a history of safe use in similar preparations. The possibility of side effects is one we take seriously and we never discount it. Contact with mucosal tissues is unlikely to cause an adverse experience. There are no reports of reaction following contact with the oral cavity. If the product is put into contact with the eyes, we suggest rinsing immediately with plenty of water and if irritation persists, contact a qualified medical practitioner. If you have been using steroid-based products please be aware that these can thin the skin which may cause increased sensitivity to the antibacterial properties of SkinSure.
Can I use SkinSure in addition to other cosmetics, soaps and shampoos?
We have had no reports of any adverse reactions with other cosmetics, soaps or shampoos. However, it is sensible to try a small area of skin first to ensure there is no reaction. We suggest applying SkinSure 3 to 4 minutes before applying other products, so that the barrier in SkinSure will not trap the previous product and has the best opportunity to protect you from any allergens or irritants.
Does SkinSure contain an antibacterial agent?
Yes. All SkinSure products contain varying amounts of Triclosan. Triclosan is a broad spectrum anti-bacterial agent, commonly found in products including toothpastes, mouthwashes and household detergents. It is also impregnated into some plastic kitchenware.
Is this product safe to use if it is likely to come into contact with clothing or furnishings?
We are not aware of any adverse effects. We have received no complaints that the products have bleached or otherwise discoloured any clothing or furnishings.
Should I use SkinSure instead of using an item prescribed by my Doctor?
Always follow the advice of a qualified medical practitioner. We will never suggest that you should stop using any item which has been prescribed to you. If you choose to stop using an alternate product, this is done at your own choice and at your own risk.
Will this product protect me from exposure to the Sun?
SkinSure is not a Sun protection product. You can use SkinSure in addition to Sun protection products. We suggest applying SkinSure at least 5 minutes before applying the Sun protection product.
What happens if I ingest (eat or drink) SkinSure?
SkinSure is intended only for external use. There is no expected or reported issues with ingesting the small amounts which might remain on the skin after application or that might be transferred to food. If a larger quantity is ingested, we suggest showing the bottle to a qualified medical practitioner for further advice.
Has SkinSure been tested on animals?
The SkinSure range has not been tested on animals.
